That was a terrible final 19 minutes for the Lakers. They are still getting virtually nothing from pg and sf. It's getting closer to 3/15... Pull the trigger Mitch! An NBA quality pg would be a big relief for LA's offense.Posted by Mark from Ct

Heard the end of the game on the radio.The two announcers, John Ireland and Mychal Thompson were basically embarassed to call the last 5 mins. Ireland jinxed the game by putting it "in the freezer" in the third quarter!! Yes, he said that!!

Kobe and Gasol are getting up there. Artest is already showing his age and fisher isnt a starter anymore. What do you mean age isn't an issue? Were you sleeping under a rock the last few years?Posted by DFURY13

Age does not dictate how you play.Kobe is 33 and is still a top 10 player in the league.Gasol is showing no signs of slowing down.

It's funny that nobody mentions Kobe's age after he had 3 straight great games after the all-star break.

Then why did you say earlier in this thread that the Celtics are old?

And Gasol shows no signs of slowing down? Do you realize this is his worst offensive year ever? He is getting to the line way less this year. Which obviously shows he is settling for jumpers instead of going inside.

Boston is an "old" team because age has had a big impact on their players, especially starters.Pierce: Much slower, has hard time creating his own shotRay: Now only a one-dimensional jump shooterJON: DoneKG: A shell of the player he used to be.

Gasol will not put up the same numbers when Bynum is on the low post on almost every posession.

In Response to Re: Wizards Punch Lakers in the Grill!!! : Everybody can see that Kobe is slowing down. The Lakers are losing because they are getting nothing from their pg and sf. Kobe doesn't have to be a high flyer like he used to be for LA to win.Posted by Mark from Ct

Didn't you just say he wasn't slowing down?

I know - semantics!!! Come ahead and say it, you are so predictable now!!!Brown will go, or kobe will go - mark my words!!!! After your team falls on its' face this year.........one of them will be gone!!

Then why did they try so hard to trade him. Fact is.......they BLAMED him for the playoff exit last year....he's soft, he was distracted, he's played too much over the last 3 years................and don't try to fool me - I LIVE out here, and hear it on the radio every day....they BLAME Gasol for the mess you're in!!!

Mark your words about the Lakers? You don't even watch them so why would anyone put any value on your opinions?
